Those were the longest couple of days of my life. It feels more like several weeks, and I'm still dead tired. We packed and moved the entire house in one day. I ended up throwing out probably half of my stuff; my mother was not so willing with her things. (Honestly, a four bedroom house to a two bedroom apartment? Come on, Mom, be realistic.) Despite that, this is in the happy thread because all of this exhaustion means that I am now comfortably settled into an apartment - with hot water and electricity, neither of which I have possessed in some time now.
Of course, I could stand to have a decent, home-cooked meal (my cooking, that is), but one thing at a time...
There are still a lot of bumps to be smoothed out. I wouldn't be so quick to breathe a sigh of relief just yet. The financial situation continues to be shaky, Mom and I are still in a gritty patch of our relationship, and I probably owe my sister and her husband until the end of time (without them, we would be homeless right now), but for the moment, I can sleep fairly soundly at night.
